Kinnon Family Trip Report 2013 - PUJOL

One of the things that first attracted me to Rob when I was first dating him was his interest and appreciation of good food, good wine and quality spirits.

Good Eats at Home: Agua de Pepino con Jengibre

Surprise, surprise. It is summer in Playa del Carmen and it's hot. According to the status updates in my Facebook news feed, it is not as hot as this summer in the northeastern United States, so I will try not to minge and complain too much. After 7 years, we have actually become quite acclimated to hot and sticky weather and have a wide variety of coping techniques to get through the occasional scorcher. Because we are all out working, playing and exercising in the heat, staying hydrated is always a top priority. Read More...
